See you Friday and welcome to... I'm so tired, man. Me too. I don't know if I could do this today.

Luke Lafreniere (0:34)

This might be a more conversational, relaxed WAN Show. We'll see how it goes.

Sony Japan has implemented a new policy requiring 60 hours of gameplay in order to even enter their PS5 Pro raffle. We're going to be talking about this. I actually am not sure if I feel quite the same way.

Luke Lafreniere (0:59)

Oh, interesting.

Linus Sebastian (1:00)

Hmm, hmm, interesting.

Luke Lafreniere (1:02)

I had just randomly read this title for the show, so I'm interested in what some thoughts are.

In other news, Meta's Muse, their AI agent, apparently sucks at haggling. This is our headline story, but a man claims that after giving Muse access to his Facebook Marketplace account, he got lowballed and it gave out his home address, which is kind of what it was supposed to do.

Luke Lafreniere (1:30)

Sounds like a Facebook Marketplace transaction to me. Sure does. What else we got this week? Armada OS is turning Android handhelds into little bitty Steam decks, and then I'm gonna give you a triple whammy here.

We've got some unplanned topics. Are we talking about fixing a walking pad issue, Linus doing some casting, and what the freaking heck is going on with games modding? Because there's some weird things going on right now. You want to do a kickflip in Rust 100 v 100?

The show is brought to you by Proton. Just one sponsor, Proton. Well, also our rap partner, our laptop partner, Dell, and our chair partner, Razer, of course.

But just Proton today. Wow. Okay.

Luke Lafreniere (2:35)

All right.

Linus Sebastian (2:36)

All right.

Luke Lafreniere (2:37)

I don't know what that means.

Linus Sebastian (2:37)

That's a pro move. They must have spent a ton of money.

Luke Lafreniere (2:44)

I could feel that one coming in my bones.

Linus Sebastian (2:48)

Yeah. I thought you were saying your butt.

SPEAKER_3 (2:50)

I was like, that's weird.

Linus Sebastian (2:52)

But that didn't happen. That's good. So now we're all on the same page.

Luke Lafreniere (2:57)

What's going on?

Linus Sebastian (2:58)

Heck YouTuber Matt Robb let Meta's Muse AI agent manage a Facebook Marketplace listing. In theory, this is exactly the sort of thing that Muse is supposed to come in and take off of your plate. Because I don't know about you, but my threshold for how much something has to be worth in order for me to bother selling it on Facebook Marketplace has gradually gone up alongside the price of a fast food meal. Like, I'm at the point now where if something is worth less than $20, it has to be quite bulky and inconvenient to dispose of before I'm like, you know, oh, okay, I should probably sell it.

So after giving Muse access to his Facebook Marketplace, Muse negotiated with a buyer, accepted an offer below his asking price, and then arranged a pickup, which, okay, to your point, that sounds about like how...

Luke Lafreniere (4:01)

It sounds like picture perfect how a Facebook Marketplace transaction tends to go.

Linus Sebastian (4:07)

Except, here's a small problem. Muse then sent the buyer Rob's home address, and then later told the buyer that he was available, even though Rob had not approved the meet up and was not home.

Luke Lafreniere (4:20)

This sounds like canonically accurate AI assistant to me.

Linus Sebastian (4:24)

Consequently, the buyer showed up at his apartment, kind of feel bad for this guy.

Luke Lafreniere (4:29)

Yeah, that sucks.

Linus Sebastian (4:30)

Unless he super lowballed our boy, Matt.

Luke Lafreniere (4:32)

No, no, no, I don't think that counts. I actually, I want to stand ground on that one.

Linus Sebastian (4:39)

Really?

Luke Lafreniere (4:40)

The AI bot, which you asked to do this, accepted that price. I don't care if he lowballed them.

Linus Sebastian (4:45)

You know what? You know what? Agreed.

Luke Lafreniere (4:48)

If you accepted the price.

Linus Sebastian (4:49)

Well, someone did.

Luke Lafreniere (4:51)

Yeah. No, it's, you agreed that this thing would act on your behalf. You accepted that price.
